vefreedom E7 Folding Electric Bike Review: Can It Really Go 80 Miles?

The vefreedom E7 folding electric bike punches way above its $719.99 price tag with specs you'd normally see on bikes costing twice as much. The standout feature is the massive 52V 20Ah battery that delivers 1040Wh of capacity - that's excellent territory. This translates to real-world range of 70 miles with pedal assist or over 30 miles on pure electric power, which beats most bikes under $1000. The 1500W peak motor is another highlight, giving you speeds over 30 mph and serious hill-climbing ability with 65 Nm of torque. The dual suspension system combined with 20-inch fat tires (4 inches wide) makes this bike ride smoothly over bumps, gravel, sand, and rough trails.

This bike is perfect for riders who want off-road adventure capability without spending a fortune. Weekend trail riders, beach cruisers, and anyone who likes exploring unpaved paths will love the fat tire grip and suspension comfort. It's also great for commuters with longer distances (15-30 miles each way) who need the extended range and want the option to fold the bike for storage. The folding feature makes it work well for people with limited garage space or apartment dwellers, though at 71 pounds you won't want to carry it very far. The three riding modes and 7-speed gearing let you customize how much workout you want versus pure electric assist.

The main drawbacks are the heavy weight and some missing premium features. At 71 pounds, this isn't a bike you'll easily lift onto a car rack or carry up multiple flights of stairs - the folding helps with storage space but not portability. The lack of UL certification may concern safety-conscious buyers, and the mechanical disc brakes require more hand strength and maintenance than hydraulic brakes. The carbon steel frame is durable but heavier and more prone to rust than aluminum. If you prioritize lightweight portability, want the latest app connectivity and USB charging, or need certified components, you should look at pricier options. But for the money, this delivers exceptional power and range that's hard to beat.
